BEHANCE DRIBBBLE NRW EVENTS

Creating a new community while living a broad has been both challenging and rewarding. Having a background in public speaking, moderation, acting and improv has allowed me to engage the audience as a moderator. As the community has grown to over 1400 members online the events have now gained sponsors who have donated items to be given to those who attend the events.

In November of 2017, I produced the first Portfolios & Pints Event at Wacom's European Headquarters. The new event was powered by the Behance Dribbble NRW Community, but under my new series events undermy new DYC flagship.
